In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon several women, eager to see the effects of the moisturizing cream.
However, most people were not optimistic.
They doubted that Chu Lingtian could procure a new moisturizing cream of good quality in such a short period, so its effectiveness was likely to be poor.
Qin Li was also very worried. If Chu Lingtian messed things up, she would be implicated.
She wondered if Chu Lingtian would be willing to let her be his secretary if Baoxue Company went bankrupt, so they could start anew elsewhere.
"Qin Li! Qin Li!"
"President Liu has shown you great kindness and values you so much. How could you have such thoughts? Shameless!"
Qin Li felt ashamed of her own thoughts.
But at some point, she had actually developed a desire to possess Chu Lingtian, to make him her own man.
Wu Zun stood with his arms crossed, waiting to see Chu Lingtian fail.
"I think this guy is just bluffing, right? This thing, apart from its exquisite packaging, has nothing special about it!"
"It's probably going to fail. This pretty boy is unreliable!"
"Baoxue Company is definitely finished. This kid is nothing!"
"When Liu Bingxue handed the company over to him, she probably knew this would be the outcome."
...
A group of people were discussing loudly, their voices reaching Chu Lingtian's ears.
But Chu Lingtian remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, his expression serene.
He would silence everyone with the product's results.
Here, everyone was unaware that Chu Lingtian hailed from a family of physicians with a rich heritage.
Chu Lingtian had been exposed to medicinal herbs since childhood. His grandfather often made him identify various Chinese herbal medicines and recite their properties and medicinal effects.
Chu Lingtian had a photographic memory and remembered everything.
Although he did not inherit the family's medical practice later, and the Chu family was tragically wiped out, the foundation remained.
When he saw the allergic reactions on the women's faces, he immediately deduced that the skincare product contained a toxic substance.
After observation, Chu Lingtian identified the toxic substance as psoriatic rash. Applying a poultice of Chinese herbal medicine could detoxify it.
A flash of inspiration struck Chu Lingtian, and he thought of using this opportunity to launch the company's new product.
With so many reporters present, and if the women's skin was healed, Baoxue Company would surely gain widespread fame.
The research team invited from the capital was already developing new products.
This was a way to build momentum for them, ensuring the product would sell even better later on.
A few minutes later, the women held up mirrors to their faces. They found that the redness and swelling from the allergies had mostly subsided, looking much better than before.
The women were astonished. Was this a medicinal ointment?
Or was it a cosmetic?
It was unlikely that many medicinal ointments could achieve such immediate results.
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "Ladies, please wait a moment. You will be completely healed shortly, and your skin will become even more supple and smooth!"
The women nodded gently, but they couldn't feel entirely happy.
After all, their faces were healed, but they had incurred significant financial losses.
Others were even more shocked by Chu Lingtian's new product. They had all expected him to fail, but its effectiveness was surprisingly good.
A group of reporters immediately stepped forward, taking numerous photos of the moisturizing cream.
Chu Lingtian walked to Qin Li's side and whispered, "How is it? When will I get to spank you!"
"Be serious. How did you manage this?"
Qin Li was also extremely curious. Chu Lingtian seemed to be turning something useless into something precious.
If she remembered correctly, the moisturizing cream Chu Lingtian had used was a product that Baoxue Company's R&D team had failed to develop. It had only had average results during internal trials and was never launched.
Now, in Chu Lingtian's hands, it had become a treasure.
"I'll tell you later. But speaking of which, there's one condition: a spanking will do!"
Qin Li nodded slightly, feeling a hint of anticipation.
She had to admit that being spanked by Chu Lingtian each time felt quite good.
"You wish! Be careful, or I'll report you!"
Despite her inner anticipation, Qin Li dared not show it, instead putting on a look of disdain.
"Alright! I'm just kidding. Go prepare red envelopes. We need to give them to the reporters and those women later!"
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "They are the vanguards of our company's new product promotion this time!"
Having been a secretary for so many years, Qin Li naturally understood.
"Five thousand yuan for each reporter in a red envelope! Don't shortchange them! And twenty thousand for each of the women!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Li was slightly taken aback.
Giving red envelopes was fine, but such a large amount seemed unnecessary.
Chu Lingtian saw through her thoughts at a glance and immediately smiled, saying, "You get what you pay for. Besides, this isn't a one-off deal. We'll be cooperating in the future, understand?"
Qin Li thought about it and realized Chu Lingtian had a point.
If these reporters could help Baoxue Company promote its products in the future, it would be highly beneficial to Baoxue Company's products.
After all, most of these reporters had official backgrounds.
"I didn't expect you to be so farsighted!"
"Of course. Now hurry up and get it done, or you'll get spanked!"
Qin Li instinctively stepped back, a look of nervousness on her face.
Chu Lingtian never played by the rules. If she were truly spanked in front of so many people, she would be utterly humiliated.
"Hurry up and go! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
Qin Li quickly turned and left, not daring to linger.
Chu Lingtian turned and walked towards the women, looking at them with a broad smile.
"Ladies, how do you like our product!" Chu Lingtian said.
The women quickly nodded.
The redness and swelling from the allergies on their faces had completely disappeared, and they no longer feared disfigurement.
Wu Zun was also astonished. He had initially thought Chu Lingtian was just an incompetent pretty boy, but he had actually succeeded.
"This kid seems to have some skill. I need to pay a visit to my old classmate!" Wu Zun thought.
He decided to meet Liu Bingxue first and inquire about Chu Lingtian.
Wu Zun's success in transforming Tianmei Cosmetics Company into a leading skincare giant in China was not solely due to his ruthlessness, but primarily his cunning.
He had originally intended to drive Baoxue Company into bankruptcy, then revive it himself, earning Liu Bingxue's admiration.
That's right; he, Jiang Tian, and Liu Bingxue were all alumni.
He was also one of the many admirers of the goddess Liu Bingxue!
Unfortunately, Liu Bingxue, true to her name, was intelligent, proud, and aloof.
She had no interest in these playboys and ignored their advances.
At the university graduation ceremony, Liu Bingxue declared her wish to start her own cosmetics company.
Wu Zun deeply remembered this wish and went on to exceed the goddess's expectations.
